<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Georgia"><span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:Calibri">We have developed a suite of innovative functional neuroimaging technologies to address the limitations in both EEG/MEG and fMRI. Functional
neuroimaging technologies on brain networks based on EEG and MEG developed in our lab for the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment evaluation of brain disorders will be discussed. The history of using EEG/MEG in studying human brain functions and diseased
human brains, and the story of research efforts on dynamics, then spatial patterns, and then going back to dynamics again with much improved spatial resolutions will be reviewed. Compared with fMRI based functional neuroimaging technologies, these computational
technologies are more accessible, easy-to-use, cheap, and supporting large-scale longitudinal clinical studies.</span></p>
